MercatorNet: 'Love is love' - the vacuous slogan of the marriage equality movement | MercatorNet

Everywhere ones looks in Australia, apparently, the same annoying slogan appears. On banners, billboards, t-shirts -- even on remote hillsides in Tasmania, as Michael Cook observes in an article today. “Love is love”. What does it mean, besides “Vote yes in the referendum on gay marriage”? What kind of love are they talking about? Michael looks at some possibilities and decides that the “marriage equality” movement owes us an explanation.
Also today we revisit Charlottesville as a professor of political science, Joseph Hebert, uses Socratic reasoning to argue that free speech rights would not have been violated if the city had been permitted to shift the white supremacist demonstration to a safer location than the city centre.
And if you have forgotten what you learned in history class about cuneiform writing, there’s a refresher course on the subject. It begins with a startling anecdote about Saddam Hussein.
